Question: A router receives a packet on an interface with a destination address of

172.16.46.191/26. What will the router do with this packet?

Answer: Discard it. Do you know why? 172.16.46.191/26 is a 255.255.255.192


mask, which gives us a block size of 64. Our subnets are then 0, 64, 128, 192. 191
is the broadcast address of the 128 subnet, so a router, by default, will discard any
broadcast packets
